I remember it was late one nightIn the middle of a dreamWoke up in a pool of sweatThought I heard a screamRan over to the window sillStuck my head out for a peekDressed in black was a man I didn't recogniseRunning down my back streetMy heart skipped a beat

Chorus:You better watch out, there's a stranger in townYou better watch out, there's a stranger in townYou better watch out when he comes aroundDon't make a sound

Got the morning paper and the headlines read:"Danger to the queen"Buckingham Palace better tighten things upThe son of a bitch is meanVendors on the corner just doin' their jobActing like nothing's newScotland Yard's still looking for himBut he doesn't leave a single clue

(Repeat chorus)

Who's this man who fell out of the sky?What's he done and where's he live?How can a man who's a criminal be a hero to the kids?The old couple swear that the ripper's backThey say it's him all rightThe young girl says it's Jesus and he won't be back again tonightI wonder who's right?
